HELP!!! I need to know where to go to ask if my husband is qualified for the program, we are starting to worry about his school loans and we still have no idea if he is qualified and when those benifits will kick in! Anyone know where we need to go or who to ask?

We have been told that it's all a lie and I hope it isn't because I'm starting to freak out, because our credit has always been good and we are looking into finally having kids, but if we cant figure this out we cant start our family :( anyone please help!

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! :)

 

My boyfriend was told he would qualify for the loan re-payment program. He was all set to join and really excited about it. He found out in April that it no longer applied to his rate and only to Musicians. It was a really hard pill to swallow but he shipped out yesterday to go to boot camp and was just proud that he has the opportunity to serve his country. We talked a lot to the recruiter yesterday and he gave him a lot of information about other programs that the Navy has that can help with his debt as well as get him to go back to school. Try to talk to the recruiter and see what they say. That is the information we were given.

Would like to know what "other programs" the recruiter said the USN has to help with his debt. 

Recrutiers are SALESMAN!  If something isn't in the contract they do NOT get it! 

 

Recruiters will tell them almost anything and everything...BUT if the person joining doesn't do their research...it is on them.  GOOGLE is a wonderful thing :~}
